CAM Cover Specifications

As a CAM Designer, your cover art is required to meet CAM Cover Specifications. 

CAM Cover Specifications

  • JPG Format.
  • 3000 x 3000 pixels.
  • Text on the Cover is 'Song Title' and 'Artist Name'. No variations. Parental Advisory is optional.
  • Upload Photo Covers must-have 'Your Photo Here' where the client's picture will go on the cover
  • 2MB file size is recommended 4MB file size maximum.
  • Accurately tag covers. Covers that are inaccurately tagged will be deleted (for example, selecting the colors white, black, and red for a black-and-white-only cover). Designers consistently inaccurately tagging covers will be removed from CAM.

Exclusive Cover Design.Your cover design must be original, copyright-free, and royalty-free and does not infringe or violate the rights of any person or entity.

Using 3D render and photography images for cover art is allowed, provided significant changes are made to the image. If your cover can be found by a reverse image search, do not upload it to CAM. A good rule of thumb would be to ask yourself, "if the buyer found the 3D render image you used, would they be upset?" The answer should always be no. An example of a reverse image search site you can use to check your covers is  https://www.labnol.org/reverse/.

Below is an example of a 3D render image change that DOES  ✅comply with CAM Cover specifications.


Original 3D Render Image

     

Image Changed, DOES Comply  ✅


Below is an example of a photographic image that has not been changed and DOES NOT ❌ comply with CAM Cover Specifications.

CAM AI Policy

Using ai is allowed, provided using ai as one of the tools to create your cover, not using ai to generate a complete cover. By using AI,the designer agrees to the following conditions.

i) the designer agrees not to use ai generated content with the prompt “in the style of another designer or artist name”.

You are solely responsible for your Input. You must not submit any Input that: (a) includes trademarks or other materials protected by third-party Intellectual Property Rights, unless you have sufficient rights in such materials; (b) is intended to generate Output that is substantially similar to a third party’s copyrighted work or is otherwise protected by third-party Intellectual Property Rights, unless you have sufficient rights in such work; (c) violates CAM Cover Specifications. 

ii) the AI image is accurate

iii) the cover is considered 'high quality", incorporating professional design standards.

iv) the cover must include additional design elements, more than just the Ai-generated image, including fonts integrated into the cover design and matching the cover style. See below examples.

                      Example: Does Not Comply ❌                            Example Does Comply ✅

       

v) Using multiple images generated from one prompt to create various covers violates our AI policy. Each cover must represent a unique concept, and it is not permitted to use multiple images from the same concept to create different covers.  

                  Example: Does Not Comply ❌

  • MP4 Format
  • 30 second animated clip of the cover
  • 25MB file size is recommended, 100MB maximum file size, use compression


If you upload and sell a cover that does not comply with CAM Cover Specifications (CSS) that CAM can find on a reverse image search site or CAM deems the cover to be just a copy of the 3D Render / Photograph with a Song Title and Artist Name added of the cover does not comply with our AI policy. In that case, you will NOT BE PAID and will be EXPUNGED from CAM.
